I wouldn't say using AI to write code is bad at all. The problem is that it usually doesn't work in complex situations. If you already know what you want to do, feed it very specific instructions covering most of the bases then it can save you some time for sure. The main thing is you really actually need to know what it's doing to be able to reasonably utilize the output. If you don't actually know the capabilities of the code and you are stringing together generated output then that's bad. Just like it would be bad to copy large sections of code from stackoverflow. It's also probably not going to work.
